ABS Sensors

Seems like a lot of Henrys for an ABS sensor

Any help?

Chris

henrys ?

unit of inductance measurement: Wiki: If the rate of change of current in a circuit is one ampere per second and the resulting electromotive force is one volt, then the inductance of the circuit is one henry.

Ahh thank yo MrCheerful. I should have payed more attention to science instead of playing with the bunsome burner lol and english it would seem ;)

What make you think they is Henrys?

KOhm?

I don't know, they might be volts.

aye, sorry....

that variation is too little to be significant. imo.

it would still give a signal. most common abs fault is a bad connector or damaged wire.

yeah, ABS light on is MOT failure

As is the light not coming on when you turn on the ignition.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Peter Hill saying something like:

Well, quite so. For all we know they may be John's.

So 3rd would be a failed solenoid on ABS.

Wire the ABS light to the oil pressure light.

[...]

Apart from the near-impossibility of doing that on anything reasonably modern, the oil pressure light may not entirely mimic the operation of the ABS light. The tester's manual states:

1.If the vehicle is fitted with an anti- lock braking system, check that a. a warning lamp is fitted b. the lamp illuminates c. the lamp follows the correct sequence of operation d. does not indicate a fault

Note: The sequence varies with the type of system. Refer to VSI, manufacturer?s or other reliable data, e.g. purpose produced charts, books, etc

it is also rather sad that anyone would try to defeat the system on a safety item such as brakes.

Indeed, especially if the vehicle was sold on.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Mrcheerful" saying something like:

Yeah, because before ABS, nobody knew how to drive properly or brake sensibly.

I don't think it's do do with ABS versus non-ABS; it's the mindset of cheating a safety system, rather than repairing it.
